Laphroaig 18 Year Old 2005 Old & Rare Platinum is an exceptional single malt Scotch whisky hailing from the iconic Laphroaig Distillery on the rugged Isle of Islay, Scotland. Distilled in 2005, this whisky has been meticulously matured for 18 years in a refill hogshead cask before being bottled in 2024 as part of the prestigious Old & Rare Platinum series by independent bottler Hunter Laing & Co. This limited-edition release embodies the quintessential character of Laphroaig, renowned for its intensely peated and complex whiskies. The maturation in a refill hogshead allows the bold peat smoke to mellow and integrate seamlessly with the developing flavors over nearly two decades. The result is a whisky that balances Laphroaig's signature maritime and medicinal notes with layers of sweetness and subtle oak influence. 300 numbered bottles.
